What Are The Different Types Of Catapults?

The Greeks called it katapelte, the French called it catapulte and the South Americans called it catapulta. Kata means 'against' and pallein is the verb form for 'hurl' or 'throw.' They were generally used to aggressively surround a ground installation for the purpose of controlling it. Catapults were last used during World War I.

There were different types of catapults. The Ballista was the first catapult. Ballista literally means 'machine that hurls.' The weapon of choice was spears. The primary users of the Ballista were the Greeks. The Romans used the Onager. Onager means donkey, because its operations were like the sudden kicks of a donkeys hind legs. The Trebuchet was developed in Asia. It was the most popular and mechanized of the lot. Trebuchets were flexible in its choice of ammunition. Arrows, spears, animals, dead rotting corpses and beehives were hurled. Traction and Counterpoise were the two types of trebuchets.

i think the answer was ok because when u tell the different types of catapults i think that you could tell some facts about each one you are talking about.

As far as I know there is only one type of catapult, the lever type that uses a spring action to launch its projectile. There is something similar that's called a trebuchet (sp?) that's basically a giant sling that launches its projectile.

3 of them are trebuchet, mangoel,and basilla.

A catapult is a type of lever... And there are three types of levers. Start there and find out more idk.
